January 14, 1975, Appleton Post-Crescent
Everyone wins- the duck, the fire department, the newspaper. The duck is freed, the fire department gets some good PR, and the newspaper gets a heartwarming piece for a dreary winter's day. Maybe I'm being too cynical but the only thing that could have been better would have been a news photographer on the scene. Forward this story 40 years later and the shoreline would have been lined with cell phone-holding witnesses of this very operation. And you could guarantee the video footage would have been featured on the nightly news.
